TANK vs TESLA "We've crushed fascism before and we'll crush it again" - ⁠WW2 veteran Ken, 98, in the tank

It's 70 and sunny and the drive home from the gym with the half top on is absolutely restorative.

You know, if I could never hear about or be exposed to any information of any kind about Mr Beast ever again, that'd be lovely.

I'm Kat Abughazaleh and I'm running for Congress.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

French Senator Claude Malhuret: "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

💥 BREAKING: At John Deere's annual shareholders meeting today, shareholders overwhelmingly rejected an anti-DEI proposal brought by the same group that targeted Costco and Apple. An anti-DEI proposal from the NCPPR received less than 1 percent of votes. Deere shareholders: DEI is in. Bigots are out

Dear Democratic Party: why are you not screaming this from every rooftop? Why are you not holding press conferences with these poor fired people - putting a face on what the richest man is destroying?

Forecast for this week is a bit wonky

Bears repeating of you're in this position...

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

These are fundamentally small, insecure, petty people. Like...imagine doing this. The fuck?

Maizie is really lazing it up today

Came out to the labs like this this morning

The labs are enjoying this rare Austin snow day

When the dog is flopped all cutelike but refuses to selfie

Our dogs are weirdos

It's not even noon and I've already 1) paid property taxes 2) set up recurring payments on Jamie's car 3) installed toll tag on said car 4) yeeted all the Christmas decorations into the attic. This is an unfamiliar feeling.

Feels like it's been years (more like late November) but I'm finally to the garage glow up stage where I get to start putting things back in drawers. Gridfinity + Fusion + a 3D printer makes this quite satisfying.

Just got an alert on my phone that my phone, that I'm holding in my hand, is no longer located near me. 🙄

Taylor Swift is interesting to me because she proves that it's actually really easy to be not-hated-by-everybody even as a billionaire. She pays well, avoids saying problematic shit, and works hard. It's a low bar that most billionaires completely and utterly fail to clear.

Feels like a lot of shipments have just been falling into a void since the holidays. This pressure regulator was supposed to arrive on the 8th, hasn't been scanned since the 9t, and now UPS is just 🤷‍♂️

It's the paws on the arm of the couch that get me

If feel like you have to spend $600m on a party, you are bad at throwing parties and have no real friends.

This has to be some of the best bang for the buck I've ever gotten.

Mollie is all pawses

Mollie is at max chill

New tire carrier is on! Not a shabby weekend* project. *Weekend = 2 days with a margin of error of +/- 7 days

Replacing the tire carrier on the Defender with one that won't be as rattly. But it's meant removing the bumper step and drilling six 11mm holes into the rear crossmember.

Stylish? Nope. But I'm the only one in the family who hasn't had to pull over to tie my shoes or complain about my feet hurting once on our NYC trip.

Rainy day in NYC with the family. Spent most of it at the Met and might have traumatized the kids by trying to subway during rush hour.

If you're just quitting twitter now - keep it to yourself. We need a higher bar for celebration.

Daughter and I are working on a friendship bracelet yard decoration (I'm 3D printing the letters). #swiftie #swiftmas

Maizie has had enough of Thursday. And November.

Had hopes for Threads but it seems like it's stalled out and the combo of bots and humorless repliers are getting tedious. Digging the vibe over here so far.
